Do we need such a memory?

128
I had a raid to the south. So we will soon talk about some of the nuances of the southern tactical direction, including the Crimea, which is ours, and even more so about the Crimea, which is not ours.

But I would like to start with a little abstract topic.




I have been stirring the topic of memory and monuments for a long time and I simply will not let it fall. Actually, they didn’t put it, this topic, in order to take it and drop it. "The people who do not remember the past ..." and so on.

It so happened that I chose Anapa as the place of temporary deployment for several reasons at once, and made raids to the Crimea.

It so happened that quite close to the PPD on Gorky Street, I immediately discovered something resembling a memorial. Found - must be examined for an item. I took my camera and went.


Honestly, sometimes the initiative is not just a punishable case, but punishable in full.

The first thing that catches your eye is the tool and the scheme.


The scheme is absolutely correct, there are no complaints about it. But further ...

Let's get a little stories?

The first character in our history is the Shahumyan destroyer.


The destroyer is conditional, because when it was laid down, yes, the ships of the Fidonisi type, the Black Sea relatives of the Noviks, were destroyers. But by 1941, the "Shaumyan" could be considered a destroyer with a huge stretch.

Laid down in 1916 as Levkas, it entered service only in 1925. Displacement 1580 tons (full), speed 36 knots, cruising range 2 130 miles at 18 knots. The armament consisted of four 102-mm guns. Anti-aircraft armament consisted of four DShK machine guns with a caliber of 12,7 mm. In addition, the ship carried four 457 mm three-tube torpedo tubes. Crew of 9 officers and 127 sailors.

The destroyer was laid down as "Levkas", since January 1919 it was renamed "Ivan Sirko", since February 5, 1925 it became a part of fleet like “Shahumyan”.


With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, "Shahumyan" took part in mine laying, escorting transports and the defense of Odessa. From the beginning of November 1941 he took part in the defense of Sevastopol. On December 28-29, 1941, the destroyer landed troops in Feodosia, January 15-16 and January 24-25, 1942 troops in Sudak. February 28-29 - landing in Alushta.

On April 3, 1942, in a heavy snowfall, "Shaumyan" was crossing from Novorossiysk to Poti. Due to gross violations of the rules of navigational service, the ship ran aground near Gelendzhik in the area of ​​Cape Tonky. During the accident, the ship broke through the bottom and lay down on the ground.

It was not possible to remove the ship from the stones, subsequently the ship was completely destroyed by storms and German aviation.

But the 102-mm guns of the Obukhov plant with ammunition were removed from the ship, transported to the shore and used to form the coastal battery No. 464.


The destroyer gunners were also sent there along with their guns.

August 1942. The battery was fully formed and ready for battle. It so happened that the calculations of the battery guns turned out to be the last defenders of Anapa. The combat mission was set to delay the enemy's advance in any way.

The choice was small, in fact, the only one - to fire on the enemy until the full use of the ammunition of the guns. That is, 1000 shells.

The battery was commanded by senior lieutenant Belokhvostov.

On the morning of August 30, 1942, the guns of "Shaumyan" opened fire on the column moving towards Anapa from the direction of the Gostagaevskaya stanitsa. tanks and enemy vehicles. The tankette, the gun and about 20 vehicles with infantry and cargo were destroyed, and the enemy's movement was stopped.

The Germans retreated, being completely unprepared for the fact that 102-mm shells would fall quite accurately and carry death. And for the naval gunners, it was easier to shoot from a fixed platform than from the deck of a small destroyer. So the result was quite predictable.

On the morning of August 31, the Germans again left the village of Gostagaevskaya. At 9 am the battery opened fire again. They did not spare the shells, the outcome of the battle was clear to all the Red Navy men, there was nowhere to retreat.

The Germans stopped their offensive towards Anapa and moved part of the equipment and personnel directly to the battery. The battle went on almost all day. By 17 o'clock, the 464 battery was completely surrounded.

The commander of battery 464 Belokhvostov decides to destroy all documents, blow up the battery and break through to the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, where the boats were waiting for evacuation.

The cover group of the spotter commander Sharoglazov remained on the battery. The rest of the personnel under the command of Belokhvostov withdrew in battles along the Vityazevskaya spit to the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, was taken on boats and taken to Gelendzhik.

Having shot all the ammunition, the remnants of Sharoglazov's group (16 people) were captured during the retreat, the rest (about 30 people) died or disappeared without a trace.

In total, the battery destroyed 20 vehicles and about 900 Germans. The Nazis captured Anapa and adjacent villages.


Two days of combat work of the battery. An episode of that war.

And this is what we have today.






It's just wonderful that history has preserved and brought to us the names of those who fought in these positions.

It is wonderful that the place where the 464 battery stood is not forgotten and this very nice square was created on it. Clean, well lit in the evening and cozy.




This is a good memory.

What's bad is the way it is all done.







Errors on the signs are unpleasant. Yes, today you can easily say, “Who cares, barbet or barbet?”. Indeed, what kind?

Illiteracy is humiliating. For both sides, and the one that wrote this, and the one about which they wrote. Like "Tigers" in films about the battle of Moscow in 1941 or La-5, which, judging by the films, generally fought from the first to the last day.

And what about the weapon?

With the gun, too, everything is sad.



It immediately becomes clear (probably not to everyone) that this weapon has nothing to do with the events of 1942. But it still stands here.

In fact, this gun has its own history. They say that there used to be a sign telling about what kind of gun it is and why it is here.

This is a 4-mm SM-130 artillery mount, designed to combat high-speed enemy ships and airborne assault forces.

In our case, this is the coastal artillery installation SM-4-1B No. 633T, caliber 130 mm, firing range 27 km.

The installation made its first artillery fire in 1956, the last in 2001.

The gun served 45 years and during its time in the combat composition of the Black Sea Fleet performed 216 artillery fires, fired 2400 shells, and repeatedly won the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy for artillery fire.

On May 8, 2010, the gun was installed on battery 646 in the village of Vityazevo.


Here's a story. With ambivalent feelings and questions.

1. Why was a weapon installed at the site of the battery that had nothing to do with that war?

2. Why did they remove the sign telling about what kind of weapon it is? Apparently, at today's level of historical "enlightenment", just a gun with a barrel and painted green is enough?
By the way, the color, to put it mildly, is not the same at all.

3. Why does no one have any questions about the illiterate inscriptions on the tablets? Okay, the barrel of the antiamphibious gun facing the sea is normal. But the guns of the 646 battery looked in the completely opposite direction.

And the most important question: do we need such a story at all? Blinded "on the knee", stretched in the style of "owl on the globe"?

Of course, it's great that the place where the 646 battery fought for two days remained untouched, it is being looked after. But the approach itself is outraged. Of course, not the level of the Nazis on the posters for Victory Day or February 23, but still.

Why do we need a story that is not history at all? Why do we need such monuments that evoke nothing but pity and surprise?

It is clear that there are few specialists, and mostly people who come to the southern city on vacation are not interested in such cruel details. But can we even afford such things?

            But, damn it, PO-2 was made of pieces of wood and rags - there were zero resources, but they were also written off and destroyed during the USSR ... it was weak for museums with 10-k to leave - as a memory ????

            Well, it was necessary to think about the future - the bureaucrats of the USSR were not accustomed to this ... The plan to fulfill / master the grandmother / report to the Central Committee is easy, but the MBR-2 or Catalina to the museum - you che, this was not in the plan, so to junk them ...

            And now to cry - "Oh, not authentic! Oh, the paint is not the same! Oh, there is no memory left!" the entire bulk of the pre-war and military equipment in the USSR was cut ...

              Found in a peat bog, landed on the forced on December 30, 1942, IL-2, the plant restored, after filming "Particularly important task" and "You must live" the plane is exhibited in Monino.

              To understand why this is the case, you just need to note for yourself the fact - Victory Day began to be celebrated only 20 years later.

        If you say "what can I?" then nowhere and no one will find anything.
        But on the good - the work of the Ministry of Defense is needed here. This wonderful organization has a plan for military history work. Like many questions we have, it is highly formalized. But some universities of the Moscow Region are really working in this direction. So, within the framework of this very VIR, it is possible to organize both the maintenance of memorable places and the search for "correct" samples of weapons from the times of the war, and their restoration, and provision to local administrations for installation in memorable places.

            I buried the veteran's grandfather the year before last, 95 years old, a volunteer at 17 in 42, Kursk then liberated Ukraine until he was seriously wounded at the end of 43.

      I will try to answer. I spoke with a local old man. He was a kid and his parents lived in Dolzhanskaya. He said that the Germans collected all the weapons they had left, whether they were in good order or not, and took them to Germany. On the barbette, you can see that most of the studs are intact, that is, unscrewed and bolts. And on one, maybe more cut with a cutter. This conversation was about eight years ago, just shortly after I first saw this monument after moving to the Kuban.

    The question is correctly posed, but:
    1. it is always easier to criticize.
    2.Money is probably taken from the local budget, it is already in deficit (this is not the Moscow budget for which the whole country plows)
    2. the task of arranging is entrusted to the one who came to hand and is forced to do it from what is at hand and to "tomorrow May 9"
    3.To get away from this, you can either transfer all the registered monuments to the newly formed federal service, or by making the mayor's office state institutions and allocating money for the monuments and lowering their demands.

        Well, the one who is entrusted must also have a head!
        For example, when the memorial on Malaya Zemlya was just being organized, a cannon was brought there one of the first and installed on a hillock by the sea. They took tourists there and the aunt-guide told with pathos how the Russian artillerymen shot the Germans from her. And the guys and I got sick of such slogans, because we crawled out all over it, talked about it and saw the brands on the shutter in the form of German eagles. What the aunt was laughing in the eye and reported about. Then the cannon was buried with its barrel in the ground and the tourists were already told that this German gun fired at our landing ships, although it was aimed at Sheskharis. Now this cannon is just in the museum.

I told him: a girl drew my son, she doesn’t understand tanks and she’s not to blame for the fact that the amers have a flag in every yard and in our school no one distinguishes a tiger from t34. this girl was still lucky, otherwise they would have made Kolya from Urengoy out of her.

        The idea is not new. It would be nice for everyone to work. Where to work? There is nothing in the resort area except for tourist business. You will be the first to start resenting if a factory with smoking chimneys is installed on the seashore. And the local residents have a problem: to live at home and without work, or to leave for work, leaving their small homeland. What would you do.

    Thank you for the article.
    It is clear that there are few specialists, and mostly people who come to the southern city on vacation are not interested in such cruel details. But can we even afford such things?

    The questions asked by Roman are very difficult. My opinion is that if a place is historical, then the approach to it should be with historical accuracy.
    In our town, near the new residential district "Gorky Park", a small park with an alley was laid out, along which military equipment (T-72, BMP-3 and BTR-40) was placed. You can approach the technique, touch it ... It's nice, many are very interested. But ... over time, this technique has become not a monument, but a kind of attribute of the street interior. Children climb on it, teenagers take pictures on it, young people drink something at its wheels in the evenings ... Is it possible to treat military equipment this way? I don't think so. What is the way out? Enclose your armor with a high mesh fence ..? These are all tough questions. It is not enough to deliver, it is not enough to ennoble, it is also necessary to explain, to understand ...

      In 1014, a commemorative stone was erected in our place for the day of the beginning of WWI. The people were so good. A stone with an absolutely illiterate inscription. The people asked the contractor right on the spot who wrote this? He stupidly replied - sent from the administration, and try to change - approved.

      I think the question should be divided into two parts.
      Military equipment - a monument to the fallen heroes. It should be on a pedestal, with a mandatory fence to avoid disrespectful attitude.
      Military equipment is the object of popularizing the army. It should be accessible so that children can climb on it, take pictures. But with the maximum observance of security measures. I grew up in a military town. There was a real plane in our school yard. The most beloved place for us. One of the main factors that influenced the choice of a profession and my whole life.

Therefore, our business is in its infancy, because we do not want to understand that we cannot even present a spectacle to our own people. People need to be enthralled. Color is one of the means.

        and how did it become clear that the T3 commander? from the outside, this can only be determined by the antenna on the hull behind the tower, but it is not.

        I say this from memory. In August 2001, I was in Mogilev, read a local newspaper - an article about the theft of a tank ... There were these words ...hi But, if you made a mistake, I ask you to forgive generously. drinks
        By the way, here are the materials on this case:
        https://www.kp.by/daily/23075/133719/
        On Monday, the Mogilev District Court began hearing the case of the theft of a German tank during the Second World War, which was part of the Buinichskoye Pole memorial complex. They stole a combat vehicle back in July 2001. The loss was noticed a few days later. The watchman just threw up his hands: "I thought he was taken for restoration." At this time, the construction of the memorial was in full swing. The tank could not move on its own. All that was left of it was the frame and nothing of the filling. They assembled the car from pieces fished out from the local swamp.
        The picture of the theft looked something like this. In one of the Mogilev transport organizations, the hijacker hired a crane and a trailer. I put a combat vehicle, the weight of which in combat equipment is almost 20 tons, and in our case, a little less, and took it away.
        A week later, the tank was found in one of the courtyards of the village of Ermolovichi, Belynichi district. A local resident, at the request of the hijacker, regularly looked after the tank. From the village courtyard no one has stolen a rarity of the war during this time.

        Read on WWW.KP.BY: https://www.kp.by/daily/23075/133719/

        And in the next issue of the newspaper, when the tank was found, it was said approximately the following: they say, comrades with a tank on a trailer came to a local peyzanin and asked to hold him in the barn for a while. They said that they would shoot a film, and soon they would bring two more tanks and an airplane ... Yes

    There is a thought. Place a remake of the OB-3 armored platform next to the local museum. The most massive armored train. The originals have not survived, but the piece is legendary. They built it in the shortest possible time, practically handicraft. Who is in that much. No one is alike. The location of machine gun nests, turrets, armor, hatches ... Everything is different. But they fought, reached Berlin, guarded Potsdam.
    We found the first act of acceptance in TsAMO well. When the division was formed, it was drawn up. There is a chronicle, photos, drawings. We found an old 20-ton cargo platform at the factory. You can weld a body from sheets, make hatches, a rotating tower. Push the old cannon in. Vertical / horizontal guidance. Chop the imitation bolts. What next? Experts will walk and spit through their lips - the bolts are not real, the gun is not the same, the steps are not the same, the hitch is not correct ... And, yes, the paint is not according to RAL. So what? Not to do? Or make them see how and on what their ancestors fought. There, the maximum height in the building is 1,6 meters. You can only stand in the tower. Until you climb in, you will not understand how it feels.

    The chronology of those events is interesting. On the morning of August 30, the Germans left Gostagaevskaya in the direction of Anapa. We were moving as part of a column, suddenly came under fire from a battery, suffered terrible losses, and returned back to Gostagaevskaya. We sat there for the day, sat for the night, did nothing, apparently, the next day they resumed the march to Anapa again. Apparently they forgot that yesterday they had to be hot on this site. Yes, the dog is with her, with this battery, give Anapa. Germans that such fools were, as they are shown in films? Maybe you should slightly adjust the plot about that fight? The battery sent 900 people to the next world? Isn't it too much? The Germans apparently walked in full-length chains on this battery. Who did this counting of the killed and how, I wonder.

      It is said in Russian: the first day the Germans marched in a column. Probably, the Fritzes did not yet have data on a battery of 130-mm guns capable of reaching them.
      And then I will ask you your own question:
      Quote: Charlie
      Germans that such fools

      Why did they have to march in a column again on the second day? Where did you see this from the author? Do you think they were not taught to attack in dispersed order? Moreover, the mountainous terrain favored coverage and detour.

      For the destroyed fascists. For a battery of such guns, from a dominant height overlooking a significant section of the road, it is quite possible to fill 900 frags on that road.

    And the most important question: do we need such a story at all? Blinded "on the knee", stretched in the style of "owl on the globe"?
    The question is, of course, correct. The truth, given the author's articles, in which there are a lot of errors, looks somewhat ambiguous. But nonetheless. Taking into account the specifics of the site at the end of the article, a proposal on how to fix the situation and install the "right tool" would look very harmonious.
    This is difficult, but it can be found.


    Stands on the former Finnish coastal battery on the Isokari island in the Gulf of Bothnia.
    Judging by the appearance, the Finns do not really need a gun.
    True, the Finns have altered it somewhat. bored out to 105 mm and installed a muzzle brake. But this is insignificant, it will not be difficult to restore the previous appearance.
    So you can contact the Kustavi municipality with a request. What if they give it back. Or they will sell it. There are thousands of turbopatriots on the website, can’t we collect the required amount. It is unlikely that the Finns will break the price.
    And on the monument restored in Anapa, it will be possible to install a memorial plaque. For example - "The weapon was purchased and installed on the initiative and at the expense of the" Military Review "website.

    Is it possible to find a 102 mm gun at the Obukhov plant now? I doubt it ... As for the color. For many years, a T-34-85 stood (and still stands) in front of the building of the Tushino regional executive committee in Moscow. They painted it in light green, then in the fence green. It seems that he was never painted with the correct color scheme. So bureaucrats have always been bureaucrats ...

But in the city of Ramenskoye, for example, a monument was erected to the units and formations that were formed in the city. Well, to make the inscriptions look beautiful, the "guards" was removed in all names. So it turned out that the monument was erected to brigades and divisions, which, not only in the city, but even in the Moscow Military District, have never been, and some were not even in nature.

    Do you know where to get the weapon of that time? Monuments are erected, children are told and shown (children have much better visual memory), mistakes in spelling, but they need to be corrected. But everything else is probably not worth touching, if only because there are not so many 34 of the first days of the war, they burned down with their crews and then melted down into other t 34, in order to burn again and get to be melted down and melted down to enter Berlin. It's the same with the guns ..... Here the spears broke because of Katyusha, they say, the installation is 54 years old How is it, but for a child it is Katyusha and he will not understand the difference in a slightly different gun carriage, rails and sights, for him it will be Katyusha ...

    When I was at Malakhov Kurgan, I did not like the fact that it was completely turned into a forest park, most of the trees were planted with signs, there is even from the Sevastopol customs.
    The French, I think they did the right thing with the village of Oradour-sur-glane.
    From Wikipedia -
    On the morning of June 10, the 1st battalion of the Der Führer regiment under the command of the Hauptsturmführer Kahn surrounded the village, residents were ordered to gather in the center of the village, after which the SS men took away all the men and drove the women and children to church.

    The men were taken to the sheds, where they began to be shot from machine guns, trying to beat them in the legs. After that, they were doused with a combustible mixture and set on fire. Only five men managed to escape, 197 people were killed. After that, a powerful incendiary device was installed in the church, after it worked, the SS men began to shoot at women and children who were trying to escape from the fire. Only one woman managed to survive; 240 women and 205 children were killed. Another group of 20 people managed to escape in the morning, when the SS men had not yet managed to surround the village.

    The village was completely destroyed. As it later turned out, the day before the arrival of the German battalion, Helmut Kempfe was indeed captured, and at night the partisans executed him and burned his corpse.

    The French did not begin to restore the village after the war, they left it in the same form in 1944, turning it into a kind of memorial

    "... 1. Why was a weapon installed at the site of the battery that had nothing to do with that war? ..."
    Probably because there is simply nowhere to take the original ... The version with a replica-replica would hardly have been better.

    "... 2. Why did they remove the plaque telling about what kind of weapon it was? Apparently, at today's level of historical" enlightenment ", just a cannon with a barrel and painted green is enough? .. "
    If this tool has its own history, then it would be better to leave it in its place, and put something else in THIS place. With color, of course, a disgrace to put it mildly ..

    "... 3. Why does no one have questions about the illiterate inscriptions on the tablets? Okay, the barrel of the antiamphibious gun looking towards the sea is normal. But the guns of the 646 battery were looking in the completely opposite direction ...."
    From my point of view, illiteracy on museum plaques is unacceptable. If desired, I think it was quite possible to get the advice of a competent person. With the direction of the barrel, I think, it is still not so simple. The composition must be, the monument must be "watchable". I cannot judge how the monument with the breech looking outward would look, but I still think it’s not very good.

    "... Well, and the most important question: do we need such a story at all? Blinded on the knee, stretched in the style of an owl on a globe?"
    I need it. And this too. With minor and minor mistakes. The existing drawbacks of this object, IMHO, are a mere trifle compared to the stormgower at the Kalashnikov monument.

    About 5 years ago, a monument to the tankmen who defended Moscow was erected in my homeland. T-34-85, which, in principle, could not be there. But he, as they say, was barely found in some wilderness and was transported across half the country. I think that some inauthenticity of the technique used in the monument is a small sin. Exception: if the monument, say specifically to the ZiS-3 cannon, but is M-30, then it is unacceptable.
    And if a monument to tankmen, it doesn't matter that the installed tank does not quite correspond to the time.
    I may be wrong, but this is my opinion.

        Because it's expensive, watch Western films of that time, the same crap, Belmondo in the famous film goes to the place of the German troika on the AMX-13. The topic of tanks in Soviet cinema has been analyzed more than once on specialized sites, until the beginning of the 60s, until the beginning of the 44s, they used real German tanks at Mosfilm, but, alas, they developed a resource, then they used T-XNUMX with plywood and other various dummy options out of savings. So in the film "The Living and the Dead" by Simonov there were real fours, the book and the film itself are very strong.
        And that the "Ballad of a Soldier" due to the fact that Alyosha Skvortsov knocked out plywood tanks from a T-44, did not become less grasping from this.
        But modern, crafts, and computer graphics, and technology identical to the real one, even the flying I-15 I-16 in one of the series about pilots (for deffochek), as a result, a complete UG.

    Auto, you are encroaching on the sacred. Federal money can only be spent by firms owned by officials and deputies. However, there are no other firms left in Russia, since there is no money in the country, except for federal ones. Banks give loans at a blocking interest, that is, if you took out a loan for a business, you went bankrupt.
    Since the deputies are just thieves, and the officials are thieves with a cover, their firms are organized as thieves. That is, not for work. Here everything is simple, a person or a skilled worker, or a skilled thief. Two in one does not fit, it is simply impossible. Examples of "skillful business executives" who "harmlessly steal" while at the same time doing miracles of production always, under all conditions, turn out to be a bluff. Miracles are always the result of the fact that a "skilled business executive" begged them from the budget or took them away from someone, destroying another sucker who tried to work.
    In general, rejoice, author, that there is not a "Coalition of SV" standing there, and not a pile of pipes, carelessly welded together. I wonder if people were even paid for laying the tiles? Or, as always, thrown?

    That's what there are definitely no questions for, so it is for the conformity of the model of the tool. Let's remember what our grandfathers told us: after the war there was no need for monuments, because direct eyewitnesses of the events were alive, and these eyewitnesses more often wanted to forget the war than to erect monuments to it. But there was an urgent need to rebuild the country. And the value of old weapons was equal to the value of the metal from which they were made. The same naval gun could serve as a source of resources for a dozen trucks in which there was an acute shortage. Resources that no longer need to be mined and processed. Moreover, if we are talking about an obviously outdated weapon built before the revolution.
    And where to put it then? The same steam locomotive, retired from service, can be transferred to the plant for shunting work, or, at worst, converted into a boiler room. Medium tanks were used to make tractors and engineering vehicles that served in the army and the national economy for many years. And where to adapt the rest? Just store until needed? So this also requires resources: warehouse space and rare, but obligatory maintenance. These resources, if the weapons were really valuable, it was more logical to use for more modern systems, potentially useful for the country's defense. So it turned out that the widest range of equipment was irretrievably lost.
    Moreover, the attitude to technology then, contrary to popular belief, was less reverent than today: people and their actions remained in the memory, and not iron, which served only as a tool for their accomplishments. When they wanted to celebrate something, they most often changed the names of the streets, erected memorial plaques on memorial places ...
    When the concept changed, weapons became just a symbol, not a monument to themselves. So, for example, near Leningrad, at the place of the famous battle of Zinovy ​​Kolobanov, he was erected on the IS-2 pedestal. There were simply no authentic KV-1s, similar to Kolobanov's real car, by that time (let me remind you: his platoon received their cars in August 1941, and these were modifications with additional shielding). There were even just a few similar ones. What's the difference? Even Zinovy ​​Grigorievich himself agreed with this (especially since he ended the war on the IS-2). If the veterans themselves, whose feat is reflected in the monuments, were quite satisfied with this situation, then why arrange a showdown for their descendants?
    The main thing is that memory is preserved (and here I agree with the author of the article, pointing out errors in the tablets and explanations, as well as the disdainful attitude of a number of officials to the historical inconsistency), and its materialized images were kept in proper form.
    PS: The color of the gun is really ... specific. However, now it is found everywhere. For example, military monuments in St. Petersburg have been painted in the same color for a long time. An extremely ambiguous impression.

      Eminent filmmakers remembered about military equipment corresponding to the historical events of the Second World War reflected in the cinema right away, even during the war. A familiar cinematic figure told me about this half a century ago, as well as the fact that such a wise undertaking was prevented at first by the military - economic confusion, then by the bureaucracy and, finally, the main "irresistible" excuse (concerning captured weapons): we will not allow glorifying the enemy military technology, its place is in the remelting - the country needs metal to restore its industry. At first, Soviet military equipment was borrowed from military post-war units, and then, during rearmament, they simply did not take care of it in time. Why are there weapons! Only thanks to Romm, who directed "Ordinary Fascism", was it possible to preserve the German war newsreel, many of which still give the impression of having not been shown before. But there was an official order to destroy kilometers of visual film evidence filmed by enemy operators!
